Bella Poarch & 6arelyhuman – ‘Don’t Like Anybody’
If there’s one thing Bella Poarch is gonna do, it’s serve, especially when you add the talented 6arelyhuman to the mix! The hyperpop-infused ‘Don’t Like Anybody’ hammered its way into the depths of our brain and we can’t see it leaving any time soon. It’s an anthem for the introverts and socially anxious, showing appreciation for that one person who keeps you grounded in a crowd while acknowledging how scary a busy room can be. Raw, real, and ridiculously catchy! We can’t get enough of this pairing – who do we need to call to get more collabs?
I’m such a huge fan of 6arelyhuman! What he’s doing musically is so bold, different, and cool. When I heard his verse on ‘Don’t Like Anybody,’ I knew it had to be a single. ‘DLA’ is such a fun song, and I personally can’t get the chorus out of my head. It also resonates deeply with me as an introvert. I hope my fellow introverts relate to this feeling of not wanting to be around literally anyone except for that one comfort person who just gets you and makes you feel like you’re not alone.

BEOMHAN – ‘Me Myself & I’
Over the years, Beomhan hasn’t only been one of our favorite K-Pop trainees, but also one of our favorite streamers, sources of positivity, and people in general. He’s been working so hard to make his dreams a reality, and he just officially debuted with the independently-released ‘Me Myself & I!’ Even while touching on heartbreak and confusion, this track will have you unapologetically dancing around your room pretending you’re in a music video. We’ll always be proud to call ourselves some of BEOMHAN’s tigers, but right now, we’re prouder than ever of his dedication.

Logic – ‘Fear’
Ready to make sure that 2024 is your year? Logic is here to motivate you with the groovy ‘Fear,’ a declaration of ambition and confidence that’s all about refusing to let fear control you. Like so many of his songs, ‘Fear’ sees Logic saying exactly what we need to hear to push through hard times and believe in ourselves. “I can’t let you hold me back,” he insists. We love that Logic uses his platform to inspire others and make a positive impact in the world!
‘Fear’ is about pushing aside self-doubt and not allowing yourself or anyone else to get in the way of what or who you want to be.

Mandi Crimmins – ‘LOSE CONTROL’
In addition to soundtracking our lives, music can also be one of the most moving ways to tell a story and make someone feel less alone. And we know Mandi Crimmins will be making so many people feel heard with ‘LOSE CONTROL,’ which confronts a horrible situation she experienced and even repurposes diary entries that she wrote while it was happening. As devastating as it is, the song is also triumphant, letting Mandi take some form of control over the experience and choosing to turn it into a way of helping others. It’s a testament to her undeniable power as a songwriter and her gift for alchemizing pain into connection!
I was groomed and trafficked by someone older who I thought was my friend. It took me nearly 7 years and a lot of therapy to accept that it happened. Because accepting it happened meant accepting that I was never in control and that I was a pawn. I wanted to tell my story publicly without shame, in hopes that it might bring peace, validation, and community to someone who might be struggling with the same thing.

Tyla – ‘Truth Or Dare’
Truth or dare? If you chose truth, then what do you love most about Tyla? If you chose dare, then we dare you to stan her! We know ‘Truth Or Dare’ will convince you to become one of her biggest supporters if you aren’t one already. It’s a sleek bop about standing your ground when a lover isn’t treating you fairly, demanding the truth while also daring them to step up to the plate and be a proper partner. Tyla always exudes confidence and power, and ‘Truth Or Dare’ is an exhilarating track that will help you see and celebrate your worth.
Of course, we also have to say congrats to Tyla for taking home the first-ever GRAMMY Award for Best African Music Performance! 2024 is certainly going to be her year.
